Web site becomes health information destination The MUSC Children’s Hospital has added a comprehensive library of health information for consumers on its Web site at http://www.musckids.com.    The Web site features thousands of medically-reviewed pages of pediatric-specific health information complete with images, charts and statistics.   “MUSC Children’s Hospital is pleased to be able to make our newly launched Web site a valuable resource for area families. As the area’s leading health care provider for children, we understand how important it is to reach out to kids, teens and their parents. That’s why we have created a Web site they can use as a resource,” said Lyndon Key Jr., M.D., chair, Department of Pediatrics. “Teachers will also find the information to be a great resource for lesson plans and homework help.”   The site features information across a broad spectrum of topics including parenting, general health, medical problems, developmental, behavioral, emotional, nutrition and fitness, and first aid and safety. In addition to the comprehensive library, here are some of the unique features: e-Newsletter for Parents. MUSC eNurse: post a question to a pediatric resource nurse.  Find a Doctor: online directory of MUSC’s physicians specializing in general pediatrics or pediatric specialty. In the News: current news and events related to MUSC Children’s Hospital, pediatric news and/or health policy located on the site’s home page. News and Events: calendar of events sponsored or supported by MUSC Children’s Hospital. Your Hospital Visit: information on how to prepare for a hospital visit. The Web site was created through a partnership between MUSC Information Technology Lab and Trio Solutions Inc., a local company specializing in planning, marketing and Web services for the health care industry.
